. As an innovative approach in student-centered, active learning methods,guided inquiry learning (GIL) has received wide attention and support from the STEMcommunities [1-3]. GIL is a pedagogical approach to active learning, driven by learner-centeredand problem-based strategies emphasizing team-learning environment [1-4]. As the evidence-based research in education has grown on the effectiveness and potential of guided inquiry-basedlearning in the past few decades, an increasing number of colleges and institutions have adoptedthe GIL approach as a means to enhance and transform the teaching and learning experiences forinstructors and students. The guided-inquiry-based instructional curricula resulted in significantlearning gains in comparison

Other experience based skills that are important to the practice of machine designare the effective use of computer-aided engineering tools and the ability to extract a correctanalytical model from a real-world engineering problem. Liu and Brown suggest that aneffective approach to teaching these experience-based skills is through the inclusion of active,project-based learning.Monterrubio and Sirinterlikci implement this active learning approach into the curriculum of aMachine Design course by including a semester-long laboratory in which students design andconstruct an injection-mold.[2] The authors

FrameworkDespite its identified importance for learning, cognitive engagement is often a difficult constructto measure. Chi and Wylie developed the ICAP framework (Chi & Wylie, 2014), whichrepresents four modes of engagement: 1) Interactive, 2) Constructive, 3) Active, 4) Passive. Thepurpose of this framework is threefold. First, it brings further definition to generally-broadrecommendations for actively engaging students (i.e., moving away from vague actions such asengage students). Second, it provides instructors with criteria to evaluate learning activities inrelation to cognitive engagement. And third, it offers guidelines for the modification of existingassignments to promote active learning (Chi & Wylie, 2014). In short, the ICAP
